Fans question trae young, Jaren Jackson Jr., Alperen Sengun all-nba snubs on Twitter

The all-NBA teams were unveiled on Friday evening.

Some of the picks were clear without debate, like NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was a unanimous first team selection.

Some were not so clear, especially in the third team, whereby the race for the last places was particularly nearby. It is noteworthy that the Houston Rockets Center Alperen Şengün and Memphis Grizzlies striker Jaren Jackson Jr. have hardly missed the third team kut.

Elsewhere, the four-time all-star Guard Trae Young missed an all-NBA team, and he has now only made one (third team in 2022) in his seven-year career, despite his career of 25.3 ppg and 9.8 APG. Young also led the NBA to Assists (11.6 APG).

Los Angeles Clipper Big Man Ivica Zubac, a much improached star that made the all-defensive second team, did not make the cut either.

Here is a look at some reactions from these four that miss the all-NBA teams.

Young scored an average of 24.2 points per game for the Hawks team, which the play-in tournament made, although he lost the star striker Jalen Johnson (18.9 ppg, 10.0 RPG) in January for a torn LABRUM. Atlanta also exchanged second scorer De'andre Hunter against the Cleveland Cavaliers Midseason, so Young wore a severe stress. He went well and made the all-star game, but did not fall back on all-NBA.

Jackson just scored an average of 22.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game, which made the general second team team. It was a solid year, but not good enough for taking into account the all-NBA. And with that he will miss a supermax extension.

The 16th overall selection in the 2021 NBA draft enjoyed his first all-star game, and he went well in the defeat of the team's first round with seven games against the Golden State Warriors and scored 20.9 ppg, 11.9 RPG and 5.3 APG.

The professional in the fourth year was the first player from outside and looked into the all-NBA team.

Zubac finished second in the improved player race behind the winner Dyson Daniels from the Atlanta Hawks and received 23 out of 100 possible 100 votes.

It was for a good reason because Zubac was defensively enormous and also had its best offensive season and shooting an average of 16.8 points at 62.8 percent and had 12.6 rebounds per game.

The 28-year-old could make an all-NBA team in his ninth NBA season next year. This time he was only too short, but some thought that his time was now.

All-NBA teams are usually difficult to choose every year. This time it was clear that there were a few good candidates for the third team who were too short.
